Blanket Fort
Also, we have a fort out in the woods where we stashed that hooker's body.
Title text: Also, we have a fort out in the woods where we stashed that hooker's body.

Explanation

Apparently a continuation of 150:Grownups, a dark-haired girl is showing off a blanket fort (which is actually a combination blanket-and-pillow fort) to her light-haired friend, who implies that her childishness (as evidenced by her previous ball pit and the current fort) stems from a fear of growing up. Dark-hair responds that she's fine with growing up, and that her behavior is actually mature realization that some things we enjoyed as children are still enjoyable. When pressed for evidence that she has in any way become an "adult," it is revealed that her boyfriend (most likely the guy from Grownups) is inside the blanket fort but has not spoken until now because he's "not exactly dressed," implying "adult" activities have been going on in it (though probably not in the sense that light-hair meant).

Transcript

[Two girls are talking with each other. There is a fort made of cushions and :blankets on the left]
First Girl: Like my fort? It uses every blanket and cushion in the apartment.
Second Girl: Okay, no offense, but this is like that ball pit you made -- Cute, but don&'t you worry you're clinging to childhood games because you're afraid of change?
First Girl: No. I'm happy to grow up. But I won't pretend fun things aren't still fun out of fear of looking silly.
Second Girl: But you're 24 and building blanket forts. How have you changed? What's adult about that?
First Girl: Well, there's my boyfriend curled up in the back.
Second Girl: ...Ah.
Boyfriend [from inside the fort]:Excuse my shyness. I'm not exactly dressed.

I see no tree in the title text, how does one know that the fort in the woods was a tree fort? 74.125.183.195 20:10, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

You don't see the woods because it's full of trees... Or vice versa...--Dgbrt (talk) 23:01, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
